VANCOUVER — Vancouver Rise FC has signed a marquee player, adding Canadian midfielder Quinn to the roster ahead of the inaugural Northern Super League season.
The 29-year-old Toronto native has made more than 100 appearances for Canada, helping the country to Olympic gold at the Tokyo Games and bronze at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
“I’m so excited to come home and play professional soccer in Canada,” said Quinn. “With Vancouver Rise FC, we hope to inspire a new generation of talented young athletes in Canada and beyond.” They became the first openly transgender, nonbinary athlete to win an Olympic medal in 2021 and to play at the FIFA World Cup in 2023.
“Having Quinn be a part of Vancouver Rise FC is a game-changing moment, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have someone of their quality on the pitch," Labbe said.
